I am aware of many of the studies you cited, and do not come to the same conclusion that witness testimony is unreliable. But I do have a question for you. Do you live believing that most of your memories of your life are largely inaccurate and unreliable to the truth? I think we can all point to areas where we where mistaken in memory or we remember something differently from someone else. But do you think that your picture of yourself is for the most part accurate?
My wife is convinced that we heard a bomb at a Metro station from a terrorist attack when we were on honey moon in Paris, we didn't, we only learnt about it when we got home and saw the papers but her memory has become muddled over time. Memory is like that, half the stuff you remember is probably wrong.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
